At Defected we always acknowledge the rich musical history that came before us; the records, the labels, the producers and the DJs that have shaped the culture in which we operate. Now, we proudly launch D-Store Recommends - a brand new addition to the D-Store's vinyl offering.
Kicking things off with a broad range of titles, this new offering is curated with our customers in mind and are all record collection essentials. Classics from the house and disco vaults such as Groove Committee 'Dirty Games', Black Ivory 'Mainline' and and Jean Carn 'Was That All It Was' are joined by contemporary essentials like Lovebirds 'Want You In My Soul' and a number of Joey Negro's 'Remixed With Love' packages.
“The appetite for vinyl and limited edition formats has grown significantly in recent months. The Defected Store has a knowledgeable patronship so we have to extended our bespoke collectable music offering to “recommended” releases, outside of our owned labels, that specifically appeal to our core audience.” - Simon Dunmore

All available on the D-Store ...
Joey Negro - Remixed With Love: Winter 2020 Sampler
George Duke - I Want You For Myself (Tom Moulton Mix)
Lovebirds featuring Stee Downes - Want You In My Soul
This is a modern day anthem, a modern day classic, released in 2011 so just a mere 9 years old but a record which absolutely lifts a club whenever it is played and possibly one of the best soulful house records of the modern era. - Simon Dunmore
Marshall Jefferson - The House Music Anthem
Groove Committee - Dirty Games
'A record that was pretty big for me back in the day, re-pressed, re-mastered, sounding amazing.' - Simon Dunmore
Joey Negro - Remixed With Love 2019 Sampler
'Another record where the multi-tracks have been found, its been remixed and remastered, Tamika Jones ‘Can’t Live Without your Love’. Joey Negro probably leading the way with his ‘Remixed With Love’ projects and albums, which have been very successful. He’s made many classic records playable sonically, syncopated and mixable for today’s dancefloors. An absolute anthem at Glitterbox, taking the roof off whenever it was played, and definitely something you need in your life.'

'Some records you know without even knowing them... Let me explain myself, some records are sampled so often in the modern world from back in the day that you recognise the hook, you recognise the record. This is one such record...' Simon Dunmore
Joey Negro - Remixed With Love
Horse Meat Disco - Waiting For You To Call
Harvey Mason - Groovin You / Modaji / Till You Take My Love
If you were a house head in the late 90’s you would recognise part of this record. It was basically a baseline sampled by Gusto for a track called ‘Disco’s Revenge’. The original track, Harvey Mason, ‘Grooving You’, produced in 1979, and just an iconic, disco recording.
Purple Disco Machine - In My Arms
Jean Carn - Was That All It Was / Don’t let It Go To Your Head
'I often am quoted saying that the Philadelphia International is my favourite all-time label. So much class, so much quality, Gamble & Huff are such amazing song-writers and producers, home to Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, The OJ’s, Lou Rules, the list goes on… this is Jean Carn, an amazing singer and favourite vocalist of mine. There are two sides to this 12”, ‘Was That All This Was’, an incredible piece of disco, and ‘Don’t Let It Go To Your Head’ on the flip-side, which is an amazing soul cut.' - Simon Dunmroe
'A massive anthem for Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage...' - Simon Dunmore
Goody Goody - It Looks Like Love
Sylvester - You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
Late Nite Tuff Guy - Tuff Cut #7
A track that is hugely popular at Glitterbox, there is a cover by Shuya Okino, Dr Packer has done a remix, extensively played at our events. Not a lot of people would know the original is by Rose Royce.
- Simon Dunmore

Idris Muhammad - Could Heaven Ever Be Like This (Late Nite Tuff Guy Remix)

Phyllis Hyman - You Know How To Love Me
Late Nite Tuff Guy - Soul Cut #01
